“We are the faces of this crisis. My family’s cancer diagnoses aren’t statistics, they’re our lives. The EPA’s decision to defend its PFOA and PFOS hazardous substance tells polluters they can’t poison our communities and hide behind legal loopholes. earthjustice.org/press/2025/e...
EPA Reaffirms Rule Designating Forever Chemicals PFOA and PFOS as Hazardous Substances
Decision to defend Superfund designations contrasts with administration’s attempted rollback of PFAS drinking water protections just last week

The EPA would also be forbidden from using them to map the health risks from toxic chemicals. The bills are championed by companies that make and use chemicals, along with industry groups that have long opposed environmental rules. www.propublica.org/article/legi...
Industry-Backed Legislation Would Bar the Use of Science Behind Hundreds of Environmental Protections

Remember when a U.S. Government agency accused Furbies of being Chinese spy toys? Who knew cute talking toys were actually secret spies in disguise?

🚨ALERT for all Floridians! Governor DeSantis has announced a special session set for January 27, 2025. A key item will make it more difficult to do a citizens’ initiative petition process.

I am shocked that more Floridians haven't signed the petition for the right to clean water to secure a spot on the 2026 statewide ballot. Let's rally together and raise awareness! They need over 900,000 signatures. Print the petition, sign, & mail! www.floridarighttocleanwater.org
